Set deep within the heart of Quebec, Canada, lies the Mohawk territory of Kahnawake, a place rich in tradition and fierce cultural pride. For centuries, its people have safeguarded their distinct heritage, including a profound respect for ancestral values. Among the most prominent of these traditions is the unwavering rule against romantic relationships with non-Native individuals, particularly those of white descent. Known as the "Iron Rule," this prohibition stands as a testament to the community's collective determination to preserve their identity and integrity in the face of historical marginalization and oppression.
